In brief
Which TV show do you quote more than any other? Readers share their most frequently quoted TV shows, including The Office, 30 Rock, and The Simpsons. Originally reported by AV Club.
The Office (U.S.)
I’ve rewatched the U.S. Office enough so the lines are rattling around my brain, waiting to be spoken out loud.
“I have a lot of questions. Number one: How dare you.”
30 Rock
I quote 30 Rock bits regularly, reconstructing about one minute of dialogue from episodes when I hear something familiar.
“Mind grapes, werewolf bar mitzvah, blerg”
The Simpsons
I’ve said "Boo-urns" more times than I can count and remind people that the law is powerless to help them, not punish them.
“No going through the window for us”
Doctor Who
I quote Doctor Who lines like "Allons-y!" in daily life and professional work, using them for motivation.
“Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind”
Mr. Show With Bob And David
I grew up watching Mr. Show With Bob And David, which molded me into the obnoxious asshole I am today.
“Okay, Go?”
BoJack Horseman
I quote BoJack Horseman’s running joke about AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe’s.
“AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe’s”
Arrested Development
I’ve burned the first three seasons of Arrested Development into my brain, but I don’t use the quotes in daily life.
“There’s always money in the banana stand”
Mad Men
I quote Mad Men lines like "I feel like I’m getting sucked into that thing" and "I’m Peggy Olsen, and I want to smoke some marijuana".
“I feel like I’m getting sucked into that thing”
Clone High
I quote Clone High gags like "Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys" and replacing sexual euphemisms with "to verb the adjective noun".
“Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys”
The Office (U.S.)
The Office’s dialogue is hilariously straightforward, making it quotable in mundane yet awkward situations.
“Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica”
30 Rock
30 Rock’s sharp, timeless material helps me reconstruct minutes of dialogue from episodes when I hear something familiar.
“Jenna Maroney keeps getting turned on by car accidents”
The Simpsons
I’ve watched The Simpsons 12 seasons, saying "Boo-urns" and reminding people the law is powerless to help them, not punish them.
“No going through the window for us”
